The playbook provides a roadmap for retailers on how to leverage the powerful capabilities of Big Data Discovery and analysis to glean insight from disparate data, bolster business efficiency, increase product availability, and, most importantly, drive sales revenue.

1010data’s “Big Data in Retail Playbook” details the profound effect data insights can have on retailers. It focuses on the importance of flexibility and scalability as organizations transition from traditional data management systems to dynamic new Big Data platforms.

Included in the 14-page playbook are ways in which big data is changing the face of retail by:

Deepening Customer Understanding— Using a variety of methods such as Market Basket Analysis and Product Affinity Analysis, retailers can broaden their existing customer knowledge by leveraging raw enterprise data to determine the most efficient means to sell and promote products.

Layering External Data into Analyses—Retail data comes in many forms (POS, loyalty, and online data), and can give retailers a thorough understanding of customers’ shopping patterns. By blending enterprise data along with data related to demographics, economics, weather, gas prices, and other external factors, retailers can gain new and unexpected insight into customer behavior to inform strategic decision making and planning.

Building Data Excellence into Everyday Operations—Big Data Discovery solutions can enable retailers to centralize enterprise data on a single platform. This means data can be easily analyzed across all departments and sources. Additionally, new reporting and analytical technologies can be built leveraging existing ERP systems, which enables underlying systems to be configured and changed on the fly without disrupting current business processes.
